    Contextualizing Carter: Australian Premieres of Modernist Masterpieces
    Immel, DT ; Murray, KJ ; Brennan, J (Performance, 2014)
    This concert of masterworks by the American modernist composer Elliot Carter brought together a unique combination of solo and ensemble works. Titled "Retracings," the program illuminated key developments in the late style of this legendary American composer. Works for solo guitar, trumpet and trombone were performed and later re-contextualized in larger ensemble works, highlighting Carter’s compositional practice of self-borrowing. Ken Murray, Joel Brennan and Don Immel facilitated the content and organization of this exceptional program. Compositions by Charles Ives and Australian composer Elliot Gyger, completed the program.
